Recent societal changes have brought about renewed interest from
architects, town planners, housing officials and the public in
terraces and townhouses. The small footprint that this style of
house occupies allows a sustainable high density approach to
habitation, slowing sprawl and creating energy-efficient affordable
living.
Townhouses have been used for hundreds of years, and their
evolution is covered from their inception right up to the present
day. With the changing demographics of buyers in mind, Avi Friedman
details how the design of these houses can be adapted to keep-up
with contemporary needs.
Friedman uses a systematic approach to cover the many facets of
townhouses from interior design and construction methods, to urban
planning issues like adjusting to the site s natural conditions,
street configurations and open spaces. This approach creates a book
which will be a valuable resource for those involved in the
planning, design and creation of terraced and town houses.
Over 150 detailed diagrams and plans, and eighty photos,
illustrate the essential elements of this style of housing. In the
final chapter, lessons learnt throughout the book are draw together
in ten broad ranging case study projects, showing how the various
aspects can be put into practice.
